I'm trying to upload a Strapi app to Heroku. I am able to see my app on the dashboard and can click on it and view a welcome message. I have entered my credit card number and selected the 'eco dynos'.
I am following instructions in the Strapi docs. The specific line I am having trouble with is:
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:hobby-dev
hobby-dev no longer exists I have tried replacing hobby-dev with eco-dynos, and a number of other variations but all I get is the message:
Creating heroku-postresql:eco-dynos on ⬢
ltdjeventsbackend... ! ! Couldn't find either
the add-on service or the add-on
! plan of "heroku-postresql:eco-dynos".
Why isn't this working?
hobby-dev in that command doesn't refer to the dyno type, but rather to the Heroku Postgres plan you wish to provision. hobby-dev is still listed on the addon page, though I believe that will change in a few days, on November 28, 2022.
The equivalent of "eco" (the cheapest non-free tier for dynos) for Heroku Postgres is "mini". I'm seeing it at $0.01 per month right now, but I believe it's meant to cost $5. This may flip in the documentation after the 28th.
Try this:
heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql:mini
